How do I tell if my copy of Gord's Gold is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2RS 2237, K 64033, 2RX 2237, REP 64 033) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2RS-1-2237 R-1 S-5840 and 2RS-2-2237 R-1 S-5841. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
